At this point, I'd totally agree with you.
I guess the point I was trying to make was, that with Raja on board and Intel very obviously making a 'real go' at this GPU thing (
), that there's more to come. I'd imagine he is taking the 'Intel' GPU driver issue seriously. It won't be good enough they keep to their current output of drivers. They will step up and I'm sure over the course of time, have driver certification on par and as regularly as AMD/Nvidia!
Hopefully, this is an early taste of what's to come with driver optimization and regular rollouts of 'Game ready' drivers.
Edit:
@JarredWaltonGPU , in terms of general raster performance, would the performance of this card not roughly translate to the same/similar performance across the majority of games? (Incidental variances aside).
I realise that you can't be certain as each gam engine might respond differently, along with architecture differences. But, in general terms?
